Re: Electrical Engineer Licensure Exam
Are you talking about taking the ?Principles and Practices? examination that is administered by the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Land Surveying (NCEES)? Does this mean that you have already taken and passed the ?Fundamentals of Engineering? exam, and are already registered (in at least one US State) as an ?Engineer in Training? (also known as ?Professional Engineer Intern?)? If not, then I am not certain what exam you are asking about. I took both tests back-to-back, on two consecutive 8-hour test days, 12 years after I received my BS-EE degree. It took a great deal of work to prepare for the two tests. I can?t begin to offer study suggestions, unless I knew if we were talking about the same test, and unless I knew more about your educational and professional background.
In my state (Washington), you need 8 years experience working under a Registered PE, in order to become licensed as a PE yourself. You can get credit for 4 years of an engineering degree program. Some foreign degree programs have already been accredited, and others have not. They?ll waive the EIT exam if you have 12 years experience after having received the BS-EE degree. But being a Master Electrician is not normally on the path to becoming a Registered PE.
